Chen Yi had no idea that the beautiful female group member he'd muted would be so bold. At the moment, he was still happily chatting in the group.
【TMD the Immortal Ascension Tribulation Is Still Chasing Me: Three newcomers, between our group and the 98 group, which is better?】
Being fellow transmigrators, the three newcomers quickly caught the reference.
【Villain Seeking Self-Redemption: You are far superior—how could the 98 group compare to you?】
【The Fallen Genius: How could the 98 group compare to you?】
【I Absolutely Hate Cilantro: I... I'm not great with fancy words, but I'll be honest—Group Leader is the most handsome!】
【TMD the Immortal Ascension Tribulation Is Still Chasing Me: Hahaha, good! Now, introduce yourselves so everyone can get to know you. @The Fallen Genius, you go first.】
After sending this message, Chen Yi couldn’t help but smirk.
No particular reason—it was just that, according to Mu Chen, this guy also shared the surname Xiao and had a fate eerily similar to a certain someone.
However, before "The Fallen Genius" could even begin his introduction, a group notification popped up first.
【Ding! A rescue mission has been generated: Group member 'Cold Palace Stalwart' has transmigrated into the role of a disgraced imperial concubine. Due to her peerless beauty, the emperor has ordered her to commit suicide as part of his burial rites. She is currently being forced to take her own life by the imperial guards and is in critical danger. Her current strength is insufficient to break free from this deadly situation. Capable group members are requested to assist.】
【Combat Power Requirement: 50 million or above.】
【Mission Reward: 60 million points, 3 million group EXP.】
【This mission has been synchronized to the group. All members have 30 seconds to decide whether to accept. If no one takes it within the time limit, it will be forwarded to the public mission pool.】
Though Liu Ruyan hadn’t sent a single message, she had already captured the attention of every group member.
Just like when she had posted her selfie before, she instantly tugged at everyone’s heartstrings.
Coincidentally, it was also at this moment that the two previously muted members were unmuted.
Instead of scrambling for the red packet, these two hopeless idiots immediately rushed to express their concern.
【Runner-Up in the Cultivation World: Baby, hold on! I... I mean, the Group Leader will come save you soon!】
【Unemployed God of Light: Baby, don’t be scared! With the Group Leader here, you’ll be fine!】
Chen Yi: "......"
Seriously? Some things never change, huh?
If you care so much, why don’t YOU go save her?
If you can’t, then stop using me to show off!
Just looking at you two pisses me off!
【A Sword Immortal with Empty Pockets: Baby, promise me you’ll stay safe!】
Oh, so you think I wasn’t talking about you too? What are you trying to prove here?!
Chen Yi was so angry he laughed, immediately slapping them with another 24-hour mute.
【Group Leader has muted members 'Runner-Up in the Cultivation World,' 'Unemployed God of Light,' and 'A Sword Immortal with Empty Pockets' for 24 hours.】
【TMD the Immortal Ascension Tribulation Is Still Chasing Me: Since we have new members, I’ll say it again—this group has a zero-tolerance policy for simping!】
【Group Leader has accepted the mission and will initiate spatial teleportation shortly.】
Seeing the three new members too terrified to speak, Fang Zheng felt it was his duty to step in and explain.
【I Really Don’t Want to Be Sacrificed: Don’t worry, brothers. What the Group Leader means is that normal pursuit is fine, but you can’t be clingy like a lost puppy. Those three embarrassments just now... well, sorry you had to witness that.】
【Villain Seeking Self-Redemption: No worries, I checked the chat history. I fully support the Group Leader’s decision!】
【I Absolutely Hate Cilantro: Bros, if you ever need help, just come to me. I specialize in the Dao of Yin-Yang Harmony—but if your combat power’s too low, don’t bother! Attached: A selfie (Click to view)】
【The Fallen Genius: The one above is a literal goddess. In terms of looks, she’s no worse than Senior 'Cold Palace Stalwart.' I strongly recommend those three seniors go practice their mental fortitude with her!】
【Cold Palace Stalwart: Group Leader is the most handsome!】
【'Cold Palace Stalwart' has claimed 30,000 points.】
【All 320,000 points from the Group Leader’s red packet have been claimed. Luckiest Draw: The Fallen Genius】
【I Really Don’t Want to Be Sacrificed: ?】
【I Really Don’t Want to Be Sacrificed: Wait, hold on—the Group Leader hasn’t even arrived yet, right? Shouldn’t you be hanging right now? How do you have the time to grab a red packet?】
【Cold Palace Stalwart: What’s the big deal? It’s not like I’ll die instantly. Grabbing a red packet to calm my nerves is totally normal, no?】
【TMD the Immortal Ascension Tribulation Is Still Chasing Me: @Runner-Up in the Cultivation World @Unemployed God of Light @A Sword Immortal with Empty Pockets—You three simps, see now? While you were worrying about her, all she cared about was the red packet!】
Seeing the Group Leader take the lead, Fang Zheng immediately followed suit.
【I Really Don’t Want to Be Sacrificed: Exactly! The prettier the woman, the better she is at deception. Wake up already! She’s a woman who survived the imperial harem—you guys don’t stand a chance. Stop deluding yourselves. Be Sigma males—don’t fall into a woman’s trap again!】
【Cold Palace Stalwart: Ugh, what’s with you guys? How could you say that about me? I was just following the Group Leader’s will to teach them a lesson!】
Different worlds, same awkward silence. The muted trio felt like they’d just gone through a breakup—their chests tight, their hearts aching.
Meanwhile, Liu Ruyan was being strangled to the point of her eyes rolling back. The suffocating pressure, like a python coiling around her, made her consciousness fade in and out.
It had been nearly two and a half minutes—why hadn’t that damn Group Leader shown up yet? When Fang Zheng was in trouble, he arrived instantly!
She wanted to hurry him along while she was still conscious, but for some reason, she couldn’t focus enough to even open the chat interface.
Could it be...
Was she really about to die?
The moment she realized death might be imminent, Liu Ruyan panicked. A surge of survival instinct made her struggle with all her might, clawing at the white silk noose around her neck.
But alas, this imperial-grade silk was a magical artifact designed to suppress spiritual energy. With her measly 5,000 combat power, she couldn’t break free—instead, the noose only tightened further, forcing her delicate pink tongue to loll out.
Her consciousness dimmed. Just as she was about to plunge into endless darkness, her life began flashing before her eyes.
So it’s true… people really do see their life replay when they’re about to die...
How unfair… I just transmigrated, and now I’m dying again...
Damn Group Leader… I’ll haunt you even as a ghost… I hate you...
With that final resentful thought, Liu Ruyan felt herself falling into an endless abyss, descending deeper and deeper...
Only after she had already accepted her death did Chen Yi finally step out from the void.

he colors of other people’s emotions. Light red meant anxiety. Gray meant exhaustion. Orange meant excitement. Yellow... meant repression. At the same time, he could gain unlimited control over one of those colors. Pale cyan: relaxation. Using this ability, he started offering “two-yuan hugs,” spending an afternoon exchanging emotional-color experiences with others. Then came his final female customer of the day— a girl whose emotional color was pure black... —— A week later, Xu Chuan had become skilled at using pale cyan—Relaxation—treating it like a bottle of menthol balm whenever he needed it. That was when he discovered he had unlocked another unlimited emotional color: Purple, the color of fear. So these emotional colors refresh every week? Fine, I take it back—I’ll never call you useless again... —— Much later, after Xu Chuan had accumulated countless emotional abilities, one night, he suddenly found himself inside someone else’s dream. There, he could use the emotional colors he possessed to paint. And in her dream, he painted her a shower of pink shooting stars, spreading across the depths of the night sky...

uld barely embark on the path to immortality. Just as he was on the verge of death, his golden finger awakened. No matter whether it was poison, drained blood and vital energy, diminished lifespan, or any other physical debuff caused by paying a price—once midnight passed, everything would be refreshed. From then on, whenever someone asked what kind of person Chu Ran was, the answer was simple: Forbidden arts that other cultivators dared not learn? Chu Ran would learn them. Prices that even demonic cultivators dared not pay? Chu Ran would pay them. Lifespan that even righteous cultivators dared not burn? Chu Ran would burn it. All the blood essence in his body? Take it. Want both his hands and feet? He would cut them off and send them to you. You say he’s finished? He wasn’t built to sit idle. You think he’s gone mad? No—he was simply waiting for midnight. From that day onward, Chu Ran would respect neither Heaven nor Earth, bow to neither gods nor ghosts. He had only one wish: For midnight to arrive a little sooner.

ions, keeping it grounded and realistic】 After quitting his job, office worker Su Yang accidentally binds with the "Enjoy Life System." As the name suggests, simply by indulging in life's pleasures, he can earn random rewards from the system—no need to spend money on beautiful women or grovel before anyone. Just enjoy, and the money follows, making it all about effortless fun. The system comes with a scanning feature, allowing him to establish a favorability bond with women rated 85 points or above. Every 20-point increase in favorability unlocks additional rewards. After suffering through over twenty years of hardship, Su Yang trembles with excitement, his dull eyes suddenly gleaming with newfound hope. "Enjoy life? How hard could that be?"

I chose to become the personal henchman of the ultimate villain, Su Muwan. I provoke all sorts of chosen ones, snatch away their opportunities, and commit every evil deed imaginable. You ask who's behind me? Hmph! You're not worthy of knowing my lady's name! ...... ....... I am Su Muwan, the eldest daughter of the Su family. Since childhood, I've possessed extraordinary talent in martial arts, which led to my arrogant and domineering personality in my past life. I was even foolish enough to repeatedly challenge those favored by heaven, ultimately resulting in a tragic death. In this life, I must behave and absolutely cannot walk the same path again!! However... SLAP!! "So you're the Dragon King, huh?!" When I saw my little lackey swagger over and viciously slap the Dragon King who was hiding his identity, I felt my heart sink. Su Muwan's suspended heart finally died as she watched Qin Luo, her utterly loyal lackey, standing before her. She fainted on the spot from shock. Heaven is determined to destroy me!!
